About this trial

The study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of bifurcation PCI using two techniques (Culotte vs. DK-Culotte) using data from a retrospective analysis.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Presence of significant changes in the coronary bifurcation requiring the implantation of two coronary stents using the Culotte or DK Culotte technique.

Disqualifiers

Patients who underwent PCI with coronary stents prior to the index procedure for the bifurcation lesion studied.

Trial population

The study includes a retrospective analysis of subjects who underwent PCI in two cooperative cardiac centers in the Lower Silesia region between April 2012 and January 2024. Data from the participating centers on all PCIs performed during these periods were prescreened for bifurcation lesions with subsequent implantation of two stents using the Culotte technique or the DK-Culotte technique. The indication for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was based on the judgment of the cardiac team or on a specific clinical indication (persistent ischemia, unwillingness to accept alternative treatment options, presence of significant angiographic CAD suitable for PCI). The decision to perform PCI with the two-stent technique was left to the operator's judgment based on clinical and angiographic characteristics.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Target lesion failure (TLF)

The primary endpoint was target lesion failure (TLF): the composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction (TVMI), or clinically driven TLR.

Time frame
Final assessment - 5 years after the initial hospitalization; followed by evaluation every 6 months from the end of the hospitalization until the final assessment (5 years)

Secondary outcomes

1

MACE

The secondary composed outcome was MACE: myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac death, MB-TLR or/and SB-TLR

Time frame
Final assessment - 5 years after the initial hospitalization; followed by evaluation every 6 months from the end of the hospitalization until the final assessment (5 years)

Other outcomes

1

Stent thrombosis

Stent thrombosis in a stent implanted in a bifurcation during primary intervention. Stent thrombosis was defined according to The Academic Research Consortium-2 consensus document. The presence of a thrombus† that originates in the stent/scaffold or in the segment 5 mm proximal or distal to the stent/scaffold or in a side branch originating from the stented/scaffolded segment and the presence of at least 1 of the following criteria: 1)Acute onset of ischemic symptoms at rest 2)New electrocardiographic changes suggestive of acute ischemia 3)Typical rise and fall in cardiac biomarkers (refer to definition of spontaneous myocardial infarction) or Pathological confirmation of stent/scaffold thrombosis

Time frame
Final assessment - 5 years after the initial hospitalization; followed by evaluation every 6 months from the end of the hospitalization until the final assessment (5 years)
2

Stent restenosis

Stent restenosis in a stent placed in a bifurcation during primary intervention. Stent restenosis should be confirmed by either angiography or intravascular assessment.

Time frame
Final assessment - 5 years after the initial hospitalization; followed by evaluation every 6 months from the end of the hospitalization until the final assessment (5 years)
